my mom surpised me today with news of, and a visit to, the new puppy. a male, black and brown dachshund. like this guy:



right now, he's only 2 weeks old, so he's still hanging out with his mom and feeding off her. but in 4 weeks we get to have him.

when we got to the owner's house (a family friend) and i first saw the pups, i felt like a little girl on the inside, but had to retain my calm demeaner on the outside. i've wanted another dog since my mom had Schnitzel put to sleep 5yrs ago, so this surprise was like the greatest surprise ever.

so now, i get to come up with a name. care to help me? i was thinking something bike related, of course, but can't seem to get past Sprocket. Spunky is on the list, too (Rocko's Modern Life). i have 4 weeks to come up with a name...

Name him Bite or Johnny Switchblade (both of these require mandatory spiked collar)
or Dale Earnhardt, after the fallen NASCAR legend
or you could go with the slightly cliche weiner dog reference with Oscar or Schnitzel
or straight to the point with Sausage
or name him after a household item such as Soup or Ottoman or Footstool
or go with the bike reference such as Chainstay or Rebound or Valvestem
or go with an old man name such a Wilton or Edgar or Elton or Ira or Roy or Lester

My feline housemates are Stewart and Frank.

Please don't name anything after Dale Earnhart.
That was intended as a sort of tongue in cheek joke, aimed at all the people with halo'ed 3 stickers on their pick 'em up trucks. I don't really care for the Left Turn League.

Link is a perfect name for a weiner dog! FIY, did you know those dogs were breed for hunting badgers and that they used to be huge compared to their current form.
Congrats on the pooch! I couldn't imagine my life without the freaks.

Chilibean: Red healer (Windrock wonderdog)
Khan: Min-Pin (named after the mongolian warlord Ghingus Khan)

spoke80...Kahn? King of the Hill by chance? that's the best show on television hmmmm....maybe Gribble?

Weagle and Spokey are getting positive feedback by non-cyclists. i'm really liking Willie.

Brat might work. the last 2 dogs we've had were Jaeger and Schnitzel. ha.

It must be really tiny at 2 weeks old...you didn't take a picture of it? Weiner dogs are so cool.

Have you started picking out a little kitty-plot in the local pet Sematary? One can never be too prepared.......

You know they're going to vote on adding feral cats to the "hunt list" in Minnesota. :eek:
